People should note the relatively low number of votes, and the fact that surveys conducted on the MSNBC site are *not* scientific. Therefore, the results are less than reliable, and other surveys have produced different results (one such survey found .shop to be the most popular).

Regardless, there are lots of very useful TLDs out there, however the popularity of a TLD is not (and should not be) the deciding factor in the selection process. For example, there may be a single company applying to run the .shop TLD, but if ICANN decides, based on their application, that the company is not capable of running a stable registry, the .shop TLD should not be selected just because it is popular. The ultimate decision should be based on the usefulness of the TLD *and* the capabilities of the applicant.
